people are looking for clarification from apple. they want to know what is the new product going forward, what are you going to do with all this cash? give me something to work with. they're not happy with their management, they're not happy with their products coming forward, and they're not happy with them sitting on all this money. so, as a result, you see the stock getting punished, and i think that people really need some clarification, and the proof is going to be in the pudding when earnings come out next tuesday. - you are a pro trader. would you position ahead of those earnings? - i think that the stock can go lower, but everything is telling me that it should be a buy. you look at it from a valuation basis, from the way the company is run, just everything about it, and you think, "gosh, how can this stock it too much cheaper?" but, that being said, it can. so, i would position myself to really try to take advantage of the volatility, and i think that is the play here. - trying to catch a falling knife sometimes though. tha
